New Obsessions

I thought it was time to update my obsession-list:

1) French is still a major thing, though recently there has been a lot less improvement in terms of vocabulary, pronounciation is getting better....

2) Guitar is still up and running, sadly only in my mind.... no access to an actual instrument

3) The book obsession has reached a different level: since I'm out of funds, the library has become my new best friend. Though an important point might be, that the genre of books has a lot more to do with my research obligations than usual (what else would make me borrow 20 books on late baroque organs?). I am also still lecturaly digesting the numerous victims of my bookstore-by-everything-you-see-fits. Last time I checked, I still have to read 12 of them...

4) Salome. Don't ask. Or maybe do!

5) Aristotle and his relationship to baroque organs. ... no wait. Ok scratch that!

...

to be continued...

There is more but I'm hungry and the library doesn't provide much in terms of culinary treats.

Need. To. Eat.

Headquarters hit by helicopters!

There is another event that you are now hereby obligated to attend: my choir is performing on July 24 and July 25. See this luxury? ... you have two days to choose from.

I was very recently rather unvoluntarely supported in my opinion, that the senses are all very important, but the worst one to loose, for me, would be my hearing. The scariest and most shocking hours of my life, during which this said hearing was gone, are impossible to describe in their horrible factuallity. This is hereby a plea to all the 'supernatural' that might or might not exist (probably not) to save me from ever being permanently deaf.
I have my ears back, in case that got lost somewhere in the above lines... though not to 100%. It should be completely fine in a few days, 'till then you gotta speak up when talking to me and not be weirded out when I keep staring at your lips!


Now to a more cheery topic: I have developed an excessive amount of freckles, due to unusually long and frequent sun exposure. My glasses are causing a rather special tan-line...

It is taking exemplary self-control not to give in to the urge of eating all the awe-inspiring books around me (I'm sitting in the Art History Library). I'm not sure why I want to eat them, but it seems my unconsciousness is of the opinion that a culinary intake will be the fastes way of information acquisition.

It is Monday. The whole week is ahead and I can't wait to see what happens next!

Take Two!

Hi dudes,
thats right, its been a while. Reasons: many. Explanations I will give here and now: none.

Second semester started a week ago. I'm taking fewer classes this time but they all promise to be somewhat more intense. For example: HEGEL (Booom!) - You get the drift.

Now, talking of intense, Orchestra will be epic: we 'll be playing Beethoven's 'Eroica' and some other less important stuff. So you are hereby obligated to come to the concert (sometime in June...)... WORK IT!

In case you are wondering, yes, I am in an unusually good mood. Too much sun is the simple answer. Too many good ideas for my paper make it a little more comlicated. Lets just go with the simlpe one for now:... My weekend was sunny. Yay!
Now the complicated version: ... my weekend was sunny and Aristotle's opinion on substances and their parts (!) make my head go 'woooooooo gotcha!'

I think this is enough madness for you to work through after such a long time off. See you soon!
